Being true to oneself is one of the most important things in life, and one that people often struggle with. Its easy to fall into temptation and behave like those that you want to like you. Its easy to mimic the actions of those you want to to be like. But the a test a true character is how one is able to stick to one's own convictions, how one is able to be true to oneself. It takes courage to be true to yourself, and it takes strength and discipline, but in the long road of life, when the ones that have molded and shaped you to their desires and need have long fallen, only you matter. How satisfying to know that the decisions you contain are yours and yours alone. How satisfying to know that you have been true to your self.
I think that being true to yourself is one of the hardest things to do in life, but in the end, the most rewarding. You are the only one inside of your head, the only one that deeply knows yourself and what you believe. Being true to yourself makes you who you are, and that is important.
